Since this is a dying thread regarding closure, I’d like to expand it a bit and address this from the 2nd BigT thread: > [@Re: Closure of the Big T thread.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/re-closure-of-the-big-t-thread/540301/116): > > Care to explain how responding with a bit of harmless humor on a small side issue lowers the level of respect more than comparing the moderators to a 3 year old being potty trained? At this point I’m not sure I care _how_ I score on your Moderator Checkoff List but(speaking solely as a poster) I think you are overreacting just a bit. Czarcasm’s getting a bit of heat, for a number of reasons. Namely, posters are trying to get some honest answers out of the moderators (Czarcasm in particular), and their participation is lacking. Now, I don’t expect mods to be hovering over ATMB like an over-protective mother, and swooping in every time their name is called. But I simply don’t see it to be all that unreasonable that if a mod is going to participate in a thread specifically set up to ask questions regarding moderation, that that participation be limited to the questions set forth - or at least be the first priority. There are thousands of threads on this board in which to play grab ass and be glib and joke around, and a limited number of threads asking mods direct questions. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/thread-management-in-atmb/540588)._
